Radicals demanded the uncompensated abolition of slavery, while Lincoln wished instead to emulate the British Empire’s abolition of slavery by financially compensating former slave owners who had remained loyal to the Union.
Literally to the left of Lincoln. Liberals taking the idealist vibes understanding of history are always so pissed when the materialist analysis shows their positions to be obviously deplorable.

79·2 天前Things are getting pretty wild in Ukraine and Kiev specifically.
There was the street battle between fascist factions, and now the SBU building got hit by a drone. I’ve seen rumors this was not a Russian drone. No solid sources on that so far. Someone posted about Ukraine announcing a weekend ceasefire.
I guess this US fake “Labor Day” weekend is also starting with Iran forgoing the tit-for-tat escalation pattern as well with strikes across the region.
So I guess I’m wondering if we can make this weekend theme “the fall of the US empire”?

81·2 天前Five of Israel’s six desalinization plants are offline. Untreated wastewater from Gaza’s destroyed sewage system could be part of the problem, experts warn.
Israel is facing a water crisis after five of its six desalination plants, accounting for a large share of its water consumption, were knocked offline this week by microscopic algae clogging intake pipes in the Mediterranean Sea.
This is pretty wild if accurate. Could also be propaganda for more fascism.

21·2 天前"In your opinion, if anyone around the world wants to take their revenge on the assassination of Soleimani and intends to do it proportionately in the way they suggest — that we take one of theirs now that they’ve got one of ours — who should we consider to take out in the context of America?
“Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Spider-Man and SpongeBob? They don’t have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large landmass, but it doesn’t have any heroes. All of their heroes are cartoon characters — they’re all fictional.”
Brands are basically fictional characters in a sense.
The wizard arrives precisely when they seize the means to.

Netanyahu’s remarks come ahead of the Oct. 27 general elections in which some polls show him trailing as opposition leaders accuse him of failing on Iran.

11·3 天前Not umami exactly, but minced garlic, ginger and green onions briefly fried in toasted sesame oil with some soy sauce or tamari added makes a really nice flavor for all kinds of stuff.

Yes, the newer bifacial panels can collect energy from both sides. In certain conditions they can even exceed the rated wattage due to light scattering/reflecting allowing for more than nominal energy collection.
